Application Process

The Graduate Student Clinician (GSC) Training Program accepts applications from USF graduate students from the disciplines of social work, mental health counseling, marriage & family therapy, and applied psychology (counseling, clinical, and school). Acceptance of graduate student clinicians is contingent on the expressed interest and capability of the student, availability of supervisors, and office space.

In order to qualify, applicants must be currently enrolled at USF and in good standing in their graduate program and be approved for a supervision model that may include primary supervision from a licensed professional and secondary supervision by an advanced trainee such as a doctoral psychology intern or a post-graduate fellow.

Application Material:

• Cover letter describing interest in collegiate mental health, any relevant experience, semester(s) applying for, and desired number of hours per week at the USF Counseling Center
• CV or resume

Application Deadlines:

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year and depend upon available openings. All positions are filled for the 2025-2026 academic year. Typically we are able to have 3-4 graduate student clinicians in Fall and Spring semesters. Please inquire if you are interested in a training opportunity with us. Thank you for your interest. We are looking to recruit for 4 positions for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Compensation Opportunities:

Paid positions are available for USF graduate students who are accepted to do required training with us (externship, internship, field placement, practicum, etc.). We require at least one full semester committment and a minimum of 16 hours per week during the semester. The graduate student student position pays at the current Graduate Student Assistant rate and does not include a tuition waiver.
